Such auditing could fairly trivially be implemented into a Ruby on
Rails web application, and is probably beyond the scope of what
they're trying to achieve with the initial releases. I agree it is
definitely a worthwhile goal to implement auditing if the long-term
future for Puppet Dashboard is to action changes to infrastructure,
and not just present a pretty interface to data.
